Abstract
Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from distal medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) presents unique treatment challenges. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is emerging as a viable option for these patients, yet the role of pre-stroke aspirin treatment is unclear. This study evaluates the impact of pre-stroke low-dose aspirin on outcomes in DMVO patients undergoing MT.
Methods: We conducted a multinational, multicenter, propensity score-weighted analysis within the Multicenter Analysis of primary Distal medium vessel occlusions: effect of Mechanical Thrombectomy (MAD-MT) registry. Patients with AIS due to DMVO, treated with MT, were included. We compared outcomes between patients on pre-stroke low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg) and those not on antiplatelet therapy. The primary outcome was functional independence at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale (mRS), 0-2). Secondary outcomes included excellent functional outcome at 90 days (mRS, 0-1), mortality, and day 1 post-MT National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. Safety outcomes focused on hemorrhagic complications, including symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).
Results: Among 1354 patients, 150 were on pre-stroke low-dose aspirin. After applying inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), aspirin use was associated with significantly better functional outcomes (mRS, 0-2: odds ratio (OR) = 1.89, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.14 to 3.12) and lower 90-day mortality (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.32 to 1.00). The aspirin group had lower NIHSS scores on day 1 (β = -1.5, 95% CI = -2.8 to -0.27). The sICH rate was not significantly different between the groups (OR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.60 to 1.43).
Conclusions: Pre-stroke low-dose aspirin was associated with improved functional outcomes and reduced mortality in patients with DMVO undergoing MT, without a significant increase in sICH. These findings suggest that low-dose aspirin may be safe and associated with more frequent excellent outcomes for this patient population. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these results and assess long-term outcomes.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Stroke is a welcome addition to the international stroke journal landscape in that it concentrates on the clinical aspects of stroke with basic science contributions in areas of clinical interest. Reviews of current topics are broadly based to encompass not only recent advances of global interest but also those which may be more important in certain regions and the journal regularly features items of news interest from all parts of the world. To facilitate the international nature of the journal, our Associate Editors from Europe, Asia, North America and South America coordinate segments of the journal.
